This is clearly caused by the "main" function generated by luac
running each source file successively. Finally, the two require lines
in TestC.lua loading each Test[AB].lua file again and running them.

I don't have time to check but I suspect luac is generating a main
function that looks like this:

do
  <TestA.lua>
end
do
  <TestB.lua>
end
do
  <TestC.lua>
end

When using the (deprecated) module function, it changes the _ENV of
this main function and so sabotages all source files later on.
